Moving can be stressful, whether it’s across town or across country. At Acorn + Oak Mile High, we’re dedicated to making renting a house through us the simplest part of your move. We’re easy to work with, easy to get in touch with and most importantly, excited to have you as a new tenant.
We make relocating a breeze by:
We’re also committed to making your tenancy with us as comfortable as possible. As an Acorn + Oak tenant, you’ll receive access to:
Applying for an Acorn + Oak Mile High property is easy as pie!
1. Go to our Available Properties tab and find the property you wish to apply for
2. Once you have found the property, click the green “Apply Now” button
3. Make sure to choose “I am applying as a tenant”
Your cosigner will apply the same way you did. Please have your cosigner follow the instructions above but choose “I am applying as a co-signer/guarantor for another applicant”.
Our application fee is $35 per applicant. Anyone over the age of 18 years old that will be living in the property full-time will need to complete an application and pay an application fee.
Yes, we’ll need an application from anyone over the age of 18 years old that will be living in the property full-time. Even if you and your partner share a credit score, we still need to verify each individual’s criminal and eviction history.
If there are multiple applications on a property and you are not selected to rent it, your application fee will be refunded if you were eliminated before background and credit checks were conducted. However, if you apply for a home and we are not able to offer you a lease because you don’t qualify, unfortunately, we will not be able to refund your application fee. If you apply for a property, are approved but you change your mind and decide not to sign a lease, we also will not be able to refund your application fee. Your application fee can only be refunded up to 30 days after your fee was paid.
We try to be as fair and as upfront as possible when prospective tenants apply for an A+O home. Many of the homes we post for rent have dozens of inquiries come in on them and the frenzy that ensues can cause an already anxious applicant both stress and disappointment. We like to make sure applicants understand how this process will work to avoid any unnecessary confusion.
We’re animal lovers here at Acorn + Oak Mile High and understand our four-legged friends are family. Our pet deposits for dogs and cats are $300 per animal. There may also be a monthly pet rent per animal of $35. When your lease ends, any damage will be deducted from your deposit and the remainder of the deposit will be refunded to you!
We get that life happens and sometimes credit scores take a beating. While we like to see a 650+ credit score, we may be able to work with you if your score is lower but most likely we will need a higher security deposit (as much as 2 x rent) and/or a cosigner with a 650+ credit score. If your credit is low due to unpaid medical bills, student loans, or because of a divorce, we’re more likely able to work with you. If your credit is low due to collections from former landlords or if you have been evicted in the past 7 years, unfortunately, we may not be able to work with you.
While we understand it can be difficult to make time to visit before your move date, we really recommend you try to! While some of our properties can be rented sight unseen, some cannot. Usually newer homes or new construction properties can be rented sight unseen; older homes with quirks most likely cannot be. If a property has high interest and multiple applications, generally more weight is placed on an applicant that has seen the property in person than an applicant that has not. If at all possible, try and make a trip to NC before your move or have a friend, family member or colleague take a look on your behalf. If you sign a lease on a property sight unseen, you are obligated to fulfill the terms of the lease, even if you arrive and the home is not what you expected.
